My huge thanks to @laurasherlock21.bsky.social for this brilliant sounding Sleuths by Samantha Moody coming from @harpercollins.bsky.social Avon 21st May harpercollins.co.uk/products/sle...

Coming in January and available for pre-order now, #Winterbourne is my first gothic novel. Inside a grand library lies an unspeakable secret... Huge thanks to Black & White Publishing who are bringing this into the world!

Came home from my travels to find fabulous book post. Many thanks to @antoniagrave.bsky.social and Avon Books UK - I can't wait to get stuck into it.

Thank you very much @laurasherlock21.bsky.social for this cracking sounding Six Strikes by @antoniagrave.bsky.social coming from @harpercollins.bsky.social Avon in March. I think I’m going to enjoy meeting Maddie! harpercollins.co.uk/products/six...

In the spirit of cannibal families, I’m going to start The Lamb by Lucy Rose today.

I’ve been thinking about Brother by Ania Ahlborn quite a lot today. It was my fave read of last year. There was something intensely vulnerable about its brutality. It’s stayed with me.

I also read A Lesson in Violence this week. 10/10 - utterly compelling.

Just finished this and it was deliciously weird and unexpected. A very clever book.

My debut psychologicalthriller is out now in paperback, ebook and audiobook. The book is shortlisted for the McDermid Debut Award. 'Emma is sick. Just not in the way you thought.' www.harpercollins.com/products/sic...

I’m bringing the bad times on tour this July – hitting Chelsea, Manchester, Bloomsbury, Newcastle, Edinburgh and Nottingham to chat about my new book Let the Bad Times Roll 🙌🏻 tickets: linktr.ee/alicemjslater

Yeah, 10/10. Super enjoyable podcast for anyone interested in writing/publishing. Def worth a listen!

So the worst genre is definitely dystopian nonfiction

Hey, grown-ups! Don't tell kids that reading is a worthwhile and pleasurable activity - show them! Let them catch you reading a book and sighing, or laughing, or emitting little squeaks of fear, or going back and rereading a bit out loud to yourself. Be a model reader! #reading

This is such a great point! All my authors, please print this and put it wherever you write 🩷 Take the pressure off yourselves for everything to be perfect. It's what keeps structural editors, copyeditors and proofreaders in jobs!

Okay #Booksky - here's the opening of my novel, Bucket List Island, about two dog walkers who go on the run after finding 23 bags full of drugs and money washed up on a beach. Tracy is a chain smoking compulsive liar who might have been an 80s pop star, Manesh is a despondent 20 something. Enjoy!
